Leaking purolator

[chinook]

Has anyone had this problem? This is the second time I have had a purolator oil filter leak on me. Its not a big leak, but more of a seep. Are their seals not very good? It is definitely on tight enough and I put a film of oil on it before putting it on. I use the premium plus. What other filters are comparible for around the same price?

Chinook,
I've used Hastings and Wix filters and have had no complaints.

I'd tend to think that a leaking seal might be due to a piece of grit or something where the seal sits. Before I put the oil filter on, I always run my finger around where the seal will go, just to make sure there isn't something trapped in between the seal and the oil filter housing.

I did run into tightening a filter too much once caused the seal to pop out of it's channel on the filter and leak...
